Space Control Room Telephone
The telephone rings sharply in the Space Control room during final Mars probe launch preparations. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart snatches the receiver amid technicians' chatter from Woman (Space Control), Cornish, and Man (Space Control). An anonymous voice demands identity verification; he replies 'Lethbridge-Stewart' calmly before hanging up with 'Oh, thank you.' The Doctor stands nearby, observing the brief intrusion.
